A massage therapist is a healthcare professional who manipulates the body's soft tissues (muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve health and well-being. They use various massage techniques to relieve pain, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, improve blood flow, and aid in rehabilitation from injuries. Massage therapists assess the body's soft tissue and joints. They perform massage therapy to relieve pain and symptoms of stress, or to develop, maintain, rehabilitate, or increase physical function

Different kind f massage treatment:
Swedish massage is very gentle. It is often used to promote relaxation, improve blood flow, and relieve muscle tension. The therapist uses long, gliding strokes and kneading and tapping techniques on the top layer of muscles in the direction of blood flow to the heart. This may also include moving the joints gently to improve range of motion.

Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of the soft tissue of whole body areas to bring about generalized improvements in health, such as relaxation or improved sleep, or specific physical benefits, such as relief of muscular aches and pains.

Trigger point massage may not be gentle and can sometimes be uncomfortable. The therapist applies firm pressure to knots or tight, tense muscles that have been overused or injured, continuing until the muscles relax. Let your massage therapist know if you feel any discomfort during the massage.

Deep tissue massage is more active and intense. It is used to treat long-lasting muscle tension. The therapist applies slow strokes (with the fingers, thumbs, and elbows) using intense pressure to reach deeper layers of the muscles than those reached with a Swedish massage technique.
